scholarships

A scholarship can help you cover the costs of your studies at Malmö University. There are a number of scholarships available for prospective students from outside the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA).

Malmö University Master's Scholarship

Each year, Malmö University offers a limited number of scholarships to qualified master students from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland who are required to pay tuition fees. These scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic merit, experience and motivation. They cover the entire cost of tuition but do not cover other living expenses.

Students admitted to two-year programmes retain the scholarship for the second year if they successfully complete the first year of study and meet the progression criteria (minimum 22.5 credits a semester, minimum 45 credits an academic year).

The application round for the academic year 2019/2020 is open between April 5 and April 14, 2019.

Who can apply?

You are eligible for the Malmö University Master's Scholarship if you are:

required to pay tuition fees for university studies in Sweden; and

admitted to an English-taught master's programme at Malmö University.

In order for your application to be considered, you must have applied to Malmö University as your first choice.

Application process

To apply for the scholarship, follow these steps:

Apply for one of our master’s programmes through University Admissions. Please pay the application fee to University Admissions.

Admitted students will receive an email with a link to an online application form on April 5.

Submit the application form and a one-page CV. The deadline is April 14, 2019.

Your application will be assessed based on the content of your application form, experience described in your CV, as well as academic records from previous studies.

Applicants who have been offered a scholarship will be notified by mid-May. Those who are not offered a scholarship will not be notified individually.

Please note that only a few students are granted scholarships every year. You should therefore start planning for ways to finance your tuition and stay in Sweden well in advance, in case you are not awarded a scholarship. The deadline to pay tuition fees is June 1.

The Swedish Institute (SI) is a government agency which offers annual scholarships for international students. Find out if you are eligible for an SI scholarship:
